THOSE SAFETY-GATES AGAIN.
At last thoro flcoms to bo a deter
mination on tho part of tho ntitliorN
tics to compel tho Southern Pacific
Railroad Company to protect tho pub
lic from tho dangers of Its traffic on
Fourth street. Construing strictly tho
terms of Its franchlso from tho city
for tho uso of that Important thorouh
faro for ordlnnry railroad nrafllc, In
tho very heart of tho city, tho South
ern Pacific has practically lost Its
right to uso It nt nil, tho question hlng
ItiB on tho point as to whether or not
tho city should first make u demand
thnt It comply with tho conditions -of
its contract before It shall move In the
rriattcr. That Is an Inflnltcsmal crack
through which to crawl out of Its pres
ent unpopular predicament. Hut,
nevertheless, If that bo tho ground on
which It delays tho fulfillment of Its
promlso for tho prlvllcgo It enjoys,
tho city council should nt onco mnko
tho demand. Mombors of thnt nugust
body nccden't nil speak nt onco, of
courso, but tho tlmo has como for
dcflnlto nctlon nnd It should bo taken
without further delay.
It may bo conceded now thnt those
In tho municipal legislature who ns
plro to bocomo mayor to succeed
Judgo Williams will wlthold expres
sion concerning tho matter for renn
ons political; but they nro making n
serious mlstnko, If tlioy hopo, In thnt
way, to curry public favor. Their
present duty Is plnln. Tho Inw defines
It clearly. Thoro Is no chnnco for
equivocation about It. Tho frnnchlso
Itself outlines tho conditions under
which tho Southern Pacific Company
mny opornto Its Fourth-street lino.
Knforco thnt Inw nnd thoro will bo no
further complaint. Hut until It Is en
forced there will bo complaint nnd
thnt complaint Is now assuming dcf
lnlto legal form.
Tho lives of thousands of people who
uso tho busy crossings on thnt high
way every hour In tho day should bo
protected; tho law Itsolf declares that
to bo tho enso nnd thnt tho company
In question should Biipply tho necessa
ry in cans of protection. Tho city coun
cil can compel It to do so nnd tho city
council should do It nt onco, or tho
pcnplo mny yet ho compelled to tulio
summnry nctlon ngnlnst tho negllgenco
of that body. It Is composed of pub
lic sorvnntB, nnd their duty Is clearly
defined. How many lives shall bo sac
rificed hoforo they shall have discov
ered tholr obligation to tho community
which elected thorn to office?
Thcro can bo no doubt now thnt It wilt
be ono of tho grandest affairs In the.
history of International exhibitions.
President Ooodo has shown remark
nblo ability nnd acumen In directing
tho great work of preparation. There
has been neither hitch nor hindrance,
scandal or squabblo In tho cntlro af
fair or any part of It. Tho names of
stato after state nro being ndded as
claimants for space ob exhibitors nnd
conceslons nro being sought from un
expected sources.
Tho railroad companies aro doing n
most effective scrvlco In advertising
this great enterprise, but tho Northern
Pacific should bo especially commend
ed for Its last effort In this direction.
THE TELEPHONE OUTRAGE.
IUILROADS AS ADVERTI8EnS.
A flfty-pago pamphlet In tho form of
tho modern mngnzlno, recently Uauod
by tho Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, Mr, Olln D. Wheeler being Its
editor, Ib dovotcd entirely to tho Lew
is nnd Clnrk Centennial Exposition,
its purposes, commemorative, histori
cal, commercial nnd political, nnd Is
ono of tho host ndvortlscmunts that
that great entorprlBo has ovor rccolv
ed from nny source. Tho Northom
Pnclflo Rnllrond Company has boon
widely nnd warmly congratulated on
the neatness' and completeness of tho
publication nnd tho business enter
prise and llborullty of tho company
in issuing It. Tho book Is handsomely
illustrated and Is unusually nttractlvo
us a production, both In n literary and
a mechanical way. It serves to show,
also, whnt effectlvo ndvortlsors tho
railroads nro whon thoy deslro to bo;
and, In this particular enso, tho North
ern Pacific has outdono all other lines
Id tho matter of displaying most enter
tainingly tbo purposes of tho great ori
ental fair to bo held In Portland dun
Ins tho presont year. Tho book con
tulus n bird's-oyo vlow of tho fair
grounds ns thoy will look when com
pleted, a condition which Is rapidly
being reached; elegant pictures of
Epeclnl features, nnd many vlowa of
Oregon's grandest scenery. It should
bo road by hundreds of thousands of
people and, doubtless, It will bo.
Tho prgress now being mndo In tho
matter of putting things In readiness
for tho groat fair is notable, notwith
standing tho fact that tbo grounds
havo necessarily been enlarged to af
ford spaco for exhibitors, both private
und public, who havo finally concluded
to get Into tho Exposition bandwagon.
Not much has been said of tho tele
phone strike latoly, but thcro Is yet
hopo that the "tolephono girls" will
ultimately win n victory over employ
ers who have opposed them with over
tlmo work nnd "undortlmo" compen
sation. These operatives havo been
treated outrageously by tho Pacific
States Telegraph and Telephone Com
pany. Thoy hnvo dono valiant sorvlco
for smn!lpay. They havo worked at
trying, tedious nnd nervc-wrccklng
labor for many hours a day for n mere
pittance. Thuy woro unnblo to obtjiln
cither an Incrcnso In their pay or n
dccrcaRO In tho number of hours of
service. It could, In fact, get no con
cession from tho corporation nt nil. It
enjoyed n monopoly of Its business In
this blg,proud city. It defied them.
Then It enmo to pnss thnt tho girls de
fied tho compnny. Dcflnlto results
hnvo not yet followed; but, with tho
nld and encouragement of tho busi
ness clement of tho city, they will win
yot.
It Is a shamo and dlsgrnco to tho
city of Portland that such n condition
could so long exist. Tho business
men nnd women of this grcnt metro
polis nro much concerned in this mat
ter. Thoy havo miff oral most from
lnck of proper sorvlco. Then, why
should thoy hesitate to take prompt
nctlon In tho matter?
A very strong petition hns boon pre
sented to tho city council, praying
that body to grant n franchlso to n
competing company. It was signed by
leading business men and probably n
mnjorlty of tho patrons of thu present
monopoly, nut tho city council has
"snubbed" It. Aro tho mombors of
thnt body under special obligation to
tho ono compnny In thnt lino of busi
ness In n city of 135,000 pcoplo?
At tho municipal election next Juno
tho voters of tho Oregon metropolis
should glvo such matters as this care
ful attention, as no doubt thoy will;
but tho oxlsltlng condition should ho
remedied sooner than thnt. It Is pos
nlblo for tho council to do It now, but,
since It will not, tho pcoplo have lit
tlo guessing to do to discover tho rea
son why, At least, thoy hnvo formed
nu opinion thnt will last us long as
tho dilatory conduct of tho council
mny Inst. And certain Jiiembcrs of
tho council mny hnvo to nnswer for
It later on.
they will novor convict him on per
jured testimony Ib tho concensus of
public opinion,
It Is hoped thnt Senator Mitchell
will rcsumo his official place In the
senate. He is an important factor
thoro, not only to Oregon, but to tho
entire nation. His prominence In com
mittee work really demands It. The
effort to cntnnglo him in these land
fraud cases is outrageous. Tho real
culprits In theso crimes hnvo done so
to "lighten their burden." Dut they
mny havo added tons of troublo to
tholr own cause.
SCURRILOUS JOURNALISM.
Governor Pcnnypacker of Pennsyl
vania, having mndo himself ridiculous
in tho past by securing the enactment
of one Inw ngnlnst tho freedom of the
press which ho has novcr had the
courago to attempt to enforce, now
proposes another law more foolish
still. Ho would like to hnvo tho
courts given tho power to "suppress"
nil Journals nddlctcd to the "habitual
publication of scandalous untruths"
on tho ground thnt thoy nra "public
nuisances." Tho attorney gcncrnl of
tho state would hnvo tho initiation of
proceedings left to his porsonal dis
cretion.
It Is nn unquestioned fact that thcro
aro In this country many surrllous
JournnlB, and thcro will bo gcnornl
agreement thnt tho country would bo
bettor off without thorn. Thoy slan
der where thoy foci It snfo to slander.
They mako n vrist outcry far reform
thnt they know would como to noth
ing. They sneer nt genutno effort for
chic betterment whon it docs not
purpose Thoy cs-
sincerity ns thoy
Thoy know no re-
disregard of truth,
except their own Interests.
Yet to suppress such Journals by
law, an Immoral publications nro sup
pressed, would Involvo In this day nnd
ugo n grcntcr danger to society thnn
anything thnt tho newspapers enn ac
complish. How true this In appoarn
from Governor Pcnnypncker's own
case. Thcro Is n woli founded sus
picion that tho Journals ho would sup
press as public nuisances nro thoso
thnt hnvo been most Insistent In tholr
opposition to him nnd his methodB,
not thoso thnt nro most oxnetly des
cribed by tho terms of tho proposed
law.
Thoro Is renson to believe that nows
papers which resort to "habitual false
hood, defamation nnd slander" bring
upon themselves their own punish
ment in tho long run, whntovor lip
penrnuco of prosperity thoy may for
it tlmo show. Thoy nro to bo rognrdod

Tho Now Age cannot overlook tho op

itions that grcnt paper ever Issued.
It wns really a great newspaper in
every department and thoro woro
many of them; but that devoted to tho
Lowls nnd Clnrk fair has won applauno
from everybody Interested in that
grand enterprise. It wns a magnifi
cent advertisement of tho purposes of
tho Oriental Exposition nnd Its prob
able results. The Illustrations woro
excellent and tho descriptive matter
was Interesting In an extraordinary do
grco. Tho Immense circulation of the
Orcgonlan in tho west, tho middlo west
and tho "Now England country" gavo
tho advertisement special value not
only on account of tho fair, but of Ore
gon nnd tho ontlro northwest. It wns
by far tho best special edition of that
great paper over put out In its long
and useful life.

FIRE THE LUOHUYIST.
SENATOR MITCHELL'S EXPLANATION.
Thoso who heard tho remarkable
speech of Sonator Mitchell on the
floor of tho United States senate on
Tuesday Inst, ns well ns thoso who
havo read it, aro moro than over con
vinced that "tho grand old man" from
Oregon is both sincere nnd Innocent.
Some of his nccuscru nro self-confessed
thloves nnd perjurers. Their tes
timony cannot convict such a mnu as
Sonator Mitchell of wrong-doing In
this laud-fraud scandal. His explana
tion to his colloaguos In tho sonato
was roploto with genuineness of heart,
of purposo and of conscience. Tho
sentiment expressed wns that of a
good and Innocent man; und tho man
ner In which It was oxpressed carried
with It convincing proof that ho Is
tho victim of n gang of perjurers. It
wub an eloquent plen in solf-dofonso
heroic In Its feature of defiance, trnglc
nt times nnd occasionally pathetic.
It wns a masterful plea for tho good
namo and Integrity of a great mun who
has dono eminent sorvlco for his
country.
Not alono Is Prosecuting Attornoy
Henoy responsible for this grievous
circumstance Ho might easily hnvo
averted It, knowing, as ho did, tho
character of tho witnesses whoso tes
timony ho might uso against such a
man. Ilut United States Attornoy.
General Moody has on his "olllclnl
docket" ut this tlmo a Bravo respon
sibility. Uudor his nnd Secretary
Hitchcock's direction this enso was
sought to bo mndo ngnlnst Sonator
Mitchell, Thoy havo gono so far ub to
Indict him nt a tlmo when Oregon
needed his sorvlcos in tho errent na
tional body of legislation; but thnt
Governor Folk of Missouri, has fired
Uio profeslonul lobbyist from tho cap
Itol building of that state In behalf
of public safety nnd tho "ponco nnd
dignity" of tho commonwealth.
Thirty hours Is tho limit of tholr stay
In tho capltol tin lobbyists, ilut, then,
n professional lobbyist can do n great
deal of damage In thirty hours. The
tlmo would better havo been reduced
to thirty minutes. If Governor Cham
berlaln should follow Govornor Folk's
examplo In this mnttor, how sorry tho
"third house" would look next dayl
As a matter of fact and public duty,
ns well, ho should. Theso lobbyists
nro not there on legitimate business.
On tho contrary, thoro nro thoro, in n
mnjorlty of Instances, to defont legi
timate business. Thoy aro brlbo-glv-era
nnd brlbo-tnkers. Thoy nro "go-betweens"
In dirty work, which tho leg
islator himself is nfrnld to do, for po
litical rensons only, Flro them out,
Governor! Tho work of good legisla
tion should proceed without their In
terference. Thoy uro not responisble
to tho pcoplo In an official capacity,
but many of them ought to bo made
responsible to tho stato for their
crimes.
Tho federal grnnd Jury continues
to unearth sonsntlons In tho land swin
dles. Men high In social, political and
business positions continue to bo in
volved In theso crimes. They may not
nil bo guilty, but tho ovldonco ngnlnst
ninny of them Ib so concluslvo that tho
public has begun to bellovo that It hns
been swindled almost Into n stato of

In theso cases Is not financial, It is

saw ho was defeated nnd thnt his

to desort him. It's nil right to aspire
to promotion to nn honorable plnco In
